Race Face Cinch Direct Mount
Best lightweight upgrade for mountain bikers seeking a streamlined drivetrain.
Ditching the spider for a direct mount setup is the smartest way to shave grams while cleaning up your drivetrain’s profile. You sacrifice the modularity of traditional bolt-on rings, but the trade-off is a stiffer, lighter, and undeniably sharper-looking crankset that performs flawlessly on the trail.
